Shri @RajivMessage ji makes a compelling argument and this is a must read. I am reminded of V.S.Sukthankar - “With the Greeks, the dominant passion was the conscious quest of ideal beauty; with the indians, it has invariably been the quest for ideal life”. 1/2

The lighting at Kanchi Kamakshi Amman temple is tastefully warm, unlike most temples smothered in white/blue-rich light. Warm light is more aesthetic, doesn’t,distort colour, & disrupt circadian rhythms in humans, animals, birds, and insects.
Wish more temples follow 🙏🏽.

Lovely read "I want to hold comfort without letting comfort hold me. We can accept the upgrade without forgetting what life was like before it arrived."
This line reminded me of my late Appa's thinking.

Demis Hassabis (@demishassabis) has had one of the most extraordinary careers in tech.
He started as a chess prodigy and video game designer at 17 before getting a PhD in neuroscience and going on to found DeepMind. His lab cracked Go, solved protein structure prediction with AlphaFold, and then gave it away free to every scientist on earth. That work won him the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Today he leads @GoogleDeepMind, pushing toward the same goal he set as a teenager: AGI.
On this special live episode of How to Build the Future, he sat down with YC's @garrytan to talk about what still needs to happen to get us to AGI, his advice for founders on how to stay ahead of the curve, and what the next big scientific breakthroughs might be.
